Kissane's Romantic Story.

The remarkable story of William Kis-
sane, alias Rogers, continues to fill COL
umns of the New York papers. The main
points of the story have been published in
the MORNING NEWS, but there are so
many different phases of it thatit is about
impossible to tell what the truth is. Some
appear 10 think that Kissane is one OF the
most notorious criminals this country ever
produced, while others think that, al
though he committed grave error in his
youth, he is now, and for the last thirty
years has been, an honest man and a
thoroughly upright citizen.
There is no doubt that he was charged
with having assisted IN burning a Mis-
sissippi river steamboat for the purpose
of getting large amount of insurance
money-a number Of lives having been
lost on the burning boat-and that he was
convicted of forgery and served a short
term III the New York penitentiary. lie
was also charged with having murdered
a man liz Ohio, and was with the Walker
| iilIbusterIng expedition in Nicaragua. A
late telegram from Cleveland says that
! he abandoned his first wife after having
| lived VITA her only five months, and that
he was at one time engaged in counter.
! feiting money.
Kisssne himself, and his friends also
say that the only crime of which he was
guilty WAS that Of forgery, and for that
he was punished. There is a slight foun
dation, It seems, for all the other charges
brought against him, but they can all bt
SO satisfactorily explained as TO leave NJ
stain on mis- name. For thirty years III
has borne a stainless reputation, anC
would have gone to his grave as William
X. ROGERS, the honored and wealthy citi
OF Sonoma county, Cal, had it no
been for tue effort his lawyer made il
| New York city to have an old indictment
standing against him since the iorger,
transaction, quashed. 1t seems that hi
identity was discovered by some one who
having a grudge against him, threatene,
TO have him arrested on this Indictment
He, therefore, wanted it disposed OF. HI
career has been remarkable one even
he is guilty Of only one of the many crime
with which be is charged.

There are two powers which are pretty
certain to play an important part In the
/ next Presidential election. They are
/ Prohibition and Labor. Politicians are
| busy speculating about the effect that
| they will have upon the two great politI-
! cal organizations, the Democratic and
Republican parties. If there is a Labor
candidate and a Prohibition candidate
for President it will be impossible TO
make any calculations respecting the re-
suit OF the contest that Will be at all sat
istactOry. There will be no way to esti-
mate approximately the strength OF
either the Prohibition or the Labor vote.
The Prohibition vote has grown steadily
for fifteen years. In 1872 it was only a
little over 5000, and eight years after
ward it had only about doubled. In 1884,
however, it took a sudden jump upward
and reached 1jl 900. and in 1886 it was
268 713S. In neither 1884 nor 1886, however,
did it include more than a fraction of
those who are ProhibItiOnists. In the
South in 1884 PROM bitiOnists voted with
the Democrats, and in the North largely
with the Republicans. 1t is impossible TO
=
be Prohibition party, or whether, IT
there is, 1t will possess sufficient influence
to control the greater part of the Pro-
hibition vote
There is no satisfactory basis, and
there is not likely to be before the next
Presidential election, for estimating the
strength of the Labor vote. Henry
George, the Labor candidate for Mayor
OF New York a few months ago, pOlled
IS, 600 votes, and Nelson, the Labor can
didate for MAYOR of Chicago q few days
ago, polled 5000 votes. If these two
instances afford any indication of what
may be expected in 1888 the Labor vote
will be very large one, and it will be
drawn principally from the Democratic
party.
There are some grounds for thinking,
however, that the labor element will not
act independently in the next Presiden-
tial contest. 1t cannot hope to accom-
plish anything as long as the followers of
the red flag are permitted to play so con-
spicuous a part in its affairs. 1t must
get rid Of the Anarchists and Socialists,
and to do that, if it can do 1t at all, VIII
require more time than there is between
now and the next national election. But
whatever may be the developments of the
Labor aud Prohibition movements in the
near future, it is certain that they are To-
teresting features in the political situa-
ton at present.

Woman Suffrage in Kansas.

The elections In Kansas on April D
were OF peculiar interest, because they
were the occasion OF the first experiment
with woman suffrage in that state. The
result WAS far from satisfactory. The
purifying influence of women at the polls,
which has often been urged in favor OF
woman suffrage, proved to be deplora-
BILE failure. Instead Of exercising good
influence, the women were disturbing
element Briefly stated. the experiment
in Kansas does not seem to have resulted
in much good. but in many cases it de-
veoped the less admirable qualities Of
the gentler sex.
The women that voted were largely
from the lower classes, negro women
being decidedly in the majority. In some
towns where intense local interest was
the incentive, the better classes of white
women were represented, but even in
such places they were in the minority.
In Leavenworth there were many dis
graceful scenes. The women were first
at the polls, and many of them sold their
votes as willingly as if they were engaged
in a legitimate transaction. The attempt
OF one woman to influence the vote OF
another caused the men to interfere, and
a free fight resulted. The women fed
precipitately, but as soon as the police
arrived they returned. The majority
voted with the rougher element among
the men, endaugering the election Of the
law and order ticket. Wives voted in OPP
position to the wishes of their husbands,
10 had .
terfere to prevent wife and husband from
coming to blows.
In Lawrence, where half the voters
were women, woman suffrage had the
most important test in the State. On the
night preceding the election the Republic
cans had mass meeting, at which 1000
persons were present, half of whom were
women. Two judges, negro woman,
prominent lawyer and two well-known
women OF culture addressed the meeting.
Great enthusiasm prevailed, and the
scenes in no wise differed from those
at a typical ward meeting in large
cities. At the election more than
1000 women voted. A hard fight was
made against the Republican candidate
for Mayor on account of his fragrant i'm
moralities, but the women voted for him
in overwhelming numbers, and he was
elected by the largest majority ever re-
ceiyed by Mayor Of Lawrence. The re-
suit was great surprise to the better
element among the men.
AS far as it is possible to Judge with
the Information at hand the only good
result of the experiment in Kansas was
the absence OF drunkenness al the polls.
Nobody was drunk in Lawrence, and in
other towns only a few cases OF drunken
ness were reported.
